Speke garden and estate have reopened after the stormy weather, and our tree safety work is complete.

If you’re planning a visit on foot during or just after high winds please take extra care, stick to open spaces and keep away from woodland areas. High winds can cause loose branches to fall and may affect the stability of some trees.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

There are stories in the walls, still waiting to be uncovered at Speke Hall…

This October, join our House and Collections team on a special behind the scenes tour to uncover some of Speke’s fascinating hidden history. 🍁

Over the centuries many deliberate markings were carved into the Hall’s timber frame, which are known as apotropaic marks. It is thought these protective symbols would ward off evil, keeping the household safe. Delve into this rich history and unravel the secrets waiting to be discovered.

Guided tours are taking place on 20 and 27 October. Tickets are available now! Visit the website to book your place.

🍎 Apple Day is this Saturday! 🍏

Join us in the Orchard at Speke Hall this Saturday for Apple Day. Get involved with picking and pressing apples from the Orchard, enjoy freshly made apple juice and apple crumble, and take some apples home with you too. 🍎🌳

☀️ A little note about this year’s harvest: The hot weather over the summer means the Orchard has produced a smaller yield of apples than in previous years. Apple Day will begin at 11am and finish when the apples run out, which may be sooner than usual - so we recommend arriving early if you’d like to take part.

📅 Saturday 3 October, from 11am
📍 The Orchard at Speke Hall
🎟️ No booking needed - normal admission applies

Don’t forget your boots or wellies and dress for the weather. 🍂

We look forward to seeing you in the Orchard!
